Shark Week is here everybody, post a Shark 🦈

IKEA BLAHAJ stuffed shark's Japanese mascot version, wearing his signature navy blazer and yellow tie, raising his arms in celebration while he sits at a retro office desk. Behind him is a portrait of himself as well as a smaller picture of him and his shark son.

Unpaid advertisement for @mayakern.com skirts: I transported all the battery-operated candles in this AirBnB to the outdoor dining table just within my skirt pockets. It was this many plus my phone and I probably could have added 50% more

I think this is 24 battery operated tea light candles on an outdoor table in front of a pool. Don't trust me on that, I had wine

Attempting to order bottles off this beer list after drinking all the beers on this beer list is tearing my family apart

Beer list on a chalkboard. Beers are named Robert, Little White Lie, Damnation, Perdition, Mortification, Supplication, Consecration, and Intinction Sauv Blanc. Many are distressingly high ABV

Am I losing my mind or does this AirBnB have a yassified George Washington

Fake antique portrait of George Washington with a little bit of a pink lip smokey eye moment going on. Maybe some tasteful contouring

Gaetano Donizetti, "La fille du régiment" (1840)

A family can be ten dads. That's it, just ten dads with no kids. (There is a framed picture of ten middle-aged men with mustaches in all-denim outfits, with their arms around each other lovingly.)

Out of an abundance of caution, I did not eat this herb.

Handwritten farmer's market sign on a clipboard behind a pile of leaves. It reads "Eat this herb Chameleon Fish Mint if you want inflammation cancer, viruses, bacteria, obesity. $1.00 each."

I see your sword flags and I raise you Mozambique

The Mozambique flag. Description from Wikipedia: The national flag of Mozambique is a horizontal tricolour of green, black, and golden-yellow with white fimbriations and a red isosceles triangle at the hoist. The triangle is charged with a five-pointed gold star in its centre, above which there is a bayonet-equipped AK-47 crossed by a hoe, superimposed on an open book.

Golf is Absolutely Lawn and my dad's right about here, so... same, incredibly same

Same graph as above (please click through originally quoted skeet for full alt text); there is a black dot in the "sports fan/touching grass" quadrant, about halfway up vertically and 2/3rds closer to sports fan than the center. This is a golf-heavy area of the graph, absolutely.

Patricia Wallinga, famous MiG insulter@pwallinga· Jun 21

I've expanded the graph. Personally, mine veers a little towards Coach Dad, but remains firmly in The Lawn Zone™

The graph above, with colored zones of different types of dad.

Strongest Touching Grass, in order from Trekkie to sports fan: last remaining Sharper Image customer, mandatory yearly fishing trip, Coach Dad.

Leans Touching Grass to true neutral, from Trekkie to sports fan: still wants to be John Wayne when he grows up, still goes to see rock bands with multiple dead members, The Lawn Zone (trademark).

Big Bookshelf half of graph, from Trekkie to sports fan: don't touch Daddy's minifigures they're not toys, has a favorite war, your father is in the garage, baseball autism corner.

Patricia Wallinga, famous MiG insulter@pwallinga· Jun 21

I feel strongly that a graph is useful here

Four-quadrant graph of the types of dads. X-axis is Trekkie (left) to sports fan (right). Y-axis is touching grass (top) to big bookshelf (bottom).

I want it to look like one of those white-out correction tape dispensers but with a USB-C on the end, you can just plug it into anything with a port and either watch or burn things. This is my sci-fi future. This is my flying car

Wite-out tape dispensers-- they're colorful see-through plastic with a spool of white tape inside.

Trying to reorganize my file storage and found this. What could this have possibly meant

A screenshot from my music engraving program, of a bunch of rests in 5/8 time and E Major. Over it is written simply "what is the egg music?"

name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you

The cover art for Drop Dead Diva. There is a sassy brunette slightly plus-sized woman in a pink dress standing on a table, surrounded by other various mildly lawyer-ish looking people. Margaret Cho and the main guy from Superstore are there.

I had the thick fork from "The Inconvenient" as my computer desktop background for several years, just because it charms me so much. Thick Fork

3D digital rendering of a fork that is thick longways. Like, the tines are inch-wide rectangles.

Really has the same vibes as the Pride-themed anti-homeless hostile architecture rock

A large boulder the size of a small boulder, placed in the middle of a building alcove where an unhoused person might have otherwise taken temporary shelter from the elements, painted in Pride flag rainbow colors.

I've started doing a version of this where my plan is to walk into the ocean, teach the octopi the secrets of civilization, and usher in a new world order. I think once they get agriculture and writing down it's really just a matter of time

A screencap of a Tumblr post from user molabuddy. It reads: recently when im tempted to say ‘i’m gonna kill myself’ i try to correct it into saying “im gonna walk into the river and become a trout” or some other form of that. this is my new thing They reblogged it 10 days later, saying: btw this has graduated into me just saying “the trout population will be affected” and then not elaborating

Doing battle with my apartment's yearly Big Moth. We're currently both standing as still as possible to avoid getting noticed. How do I get her to leave in the least traumatic way for both of us?
